Making it solely about the extraction of dollars is a great recipe to make something mediocre. See Hollywood or Microslop.

Its like min-maxing a Diablo build where you want the quality of the product to be _just_ above the "acceptable" threshold but no higher because that's wasting money. Then, you're free to use all remaining points to spec into revenue.

It looks interesting but no source availability is a red flag for me.

Best performing by what metric? There aren't meaningful ways to measure engineer "performance" that makes them comparable as far as I know.

I habe a "Pocketbook Verse Pro" that runs Linux. No need to root, you can copy ARM executables to the SD card and run them (that's how I use Syncthing on it). KOReader also works on it.

Speaking of passkeys, could they be used to authenticate to a local application - say for unlocking a password vault (perhaps through a Yubikey)?

I appreciate that you document how the ranking works below the list. Thank you.

Elixir has OpenTelemetry bindings which integrate into most of these platforms. At work, we use DataDog.

True. There is inter-op with both Elixir and Erlang, but thsts like early TypeScript.

If you're at all interested, I'd suggest doing the basic and OTP tutorials on the Elixir Website. Takes about two hours. Seeing what's included and how it works is probably the strongest sails pitch.

I wonder why though. Aren't both of these things facts? I think you can justify using them anyways - which is what I'd be interested to talk about.

We look at K8s more like "the Cloud Operating System". Many of its capabilities are more valuable for other runtimes, but that doesn't mean that Elixir is a bad fit with it.

For example, the Erlang VM clustering can make use of K8s for Service Discovery. You can do ephemeral containers and use readiness probes to create a " hand over" period where new instances can sync their data from old, about-to-be-replaced instances.

It is alleviated quite a bit bz its pattern matching capabilities combined with the "let it crash" ethos.

They have a success typing system (which isn't very good) and are working on a fuller system (which isn't very mature).

If typing is the only thing keeping you out, have a look at Gleam.

Having worked with Elixir professionally for the last six years now, it is a very mature platform, very performant and offers many things that are hard in other languages right out of the box.
